Method Caffeine overdose as a method

[RedOasis]

So I was thinking what if you bought some pure caffeine powder online and snorted a bunch of it, it only takes around 10k mg to be lethal (10g) and you can buy it online for quite cheap.
Is this a good idea or is it dumb?

IT is very dump i drunk more than 10 g of pure caffeine in form of a liquid to CTB myself your heart will race like mad you will vomit blood from your stomach stomach acid will literally Burn your throat damaging IT. If you snort IT IT might be even worse and pure caffeine is bitter like hell

I doubt 10g of anything would fit in your nose, let alone absorb through your sinus membranes. If you were to do this it would either have to be injected or ingested - but even then I doubt it would work. Even if it's plausible, there's probably such little information surrounding it that it would be hard to know what your chances are.

Chronic consumption of a high amount of caffeine is known to coincide with higher risks for heart disease. I wouldn't be surprised if surviving something like this (acute exposure to a gross amount of caffeine) would also put you at risk for similar things.

I almost overdosed when I was in high school. Stupidly took like 8 200mg caffeine pills. It was not fun at all... I started throwing up after about an hour and became super sick. I lasted about 3 days not being able to move, just laying in my bed without being able to sleep, eat or drink anything. Not fun at all and a really shitty way to try and suicide. I'm guessing you are going to get really sick and will not die.

What about injections? Seems to have a lot lower LD50

taking any stimulate to die is a bad idea. even if you do it will be a horrid death.

It's too bad otc pills like caffeine and Tylenol don't work. They're accessible, and ODing is my preference.
